Fragrance Free
Fragrance is one of the most common causes of skin irritation, allergic reactions and contact dermatitis in personal care products. It is also a frequent trigger for headaches, respiratory sensitivity and reactions in people with asthma or chemical sensitivities. This collection brings together personal care, skincare and household products that are formulated without added fragrance, making them suitable for people with sensitive skin, fragrance allergies, eczema, rosacea or any condition where fragrance is a known irritant.
Fragrance-free does not mean unscented. Unscented products may still contain masking fragrances to neutralise the natural smell of ingredients. Truly fragrance-free products contain no fragrance compounds at all, which is the standard we apply to products in this collection. Whether you are shopping for yourself or for a baby or child with reactive skin, you will find reliable options here.

Why Fragrance-Free Matters for Sensitive Skin
Fragrance is a blanket term that can represent a mixture of hundreds of individual chemical compounds, many of which are known allergens or irritants. Under current labelling regulations, manufacturers are not required to disclose the individual components of a fragrance blend, making it difficult for consumers to identify and avoid specific triggers. For people with sensitive skin or fragrance allergies, the safest approach is to avoid fragrance entirely rather than trying to identify individual problem ingredients.
Common Conditions That Benefit from Fragrance-Free Products
Eczema (atopic dermatitis) is one of the most common reasons people seek fragrance-free products. The skin barrier in eczema is compromised, making it more permeable to irritants and allergens. Fragrance is consistently identified as one of the top triggers for eczema flares. Rosacea, psoriasis and perioral dermatitis are also conditions where fragrance-free formulations are strongly recommended by dermatologists. Even people without a diagnosed skin condition may find that switching to fragrance-free products reduces background redness, dryness and sensitivity.
Common Questions
What is the difference between fragrance-free and unscented?Fragrance-free means no fragrance ingredients have been added to the product. Unscented means the product has no perceptible smell, but this can be achieved by adding masking fragrances that neutralise the natural odour of other ingredients. For people with fragrance sensitivities or allergies, fragrance-free is the correct choice. Unscented products may still cause reactions.
Can natural fragrances cause reactions?Yes. Natural fragrances derived from essential oils and botanical extracts can cause allergic reactions just as synthetic fragrances can. Lavender, citrus oils, tea tree and many other popular natural fragrance ingredients are recognised allergens. If you have a fragrance allergy or very sensitive skin, fragrance-free products are safer than products labelled as naturally scented.
Are fragrance-free products safe for babies?Yes, fragrance-free products are generally the recommended choice for babies and young children. Infant skin is thinner and more permeable than adult skin, making it more susceptible to irritation from fragrance compounds. Paediatricians and dermatologists typically recommend fragrance-free cleansers, moisturisers and laundry products for babies, particularly those with eczema-prone or sensitive skin.
